WORCESTER 
A toddler who fell from a third-floor window at 7 Vinson St. just after 10 this morning is expected to survive, according to police. The little girl's mother was in the shower when one of her other children rushed in and told her that the 2-year-old had fallen through the window, according to a Police Department press release.

Scanner reports this morning indicated that the child pushed out a dryer vent and fell through the window, which police said was not locked and had no screen.

Police said the mother rushed to the driveway to help her child and called 911.

Neighbors also called 911, according to Heather Williamson, who lives in the first floor apartment and was home with her children and some other children. She did not hear the fall.

“What got me was the screaming of the mother,” Ms. Williamson said.

She said she found her upstairs neighbor holding her 2-year-old daughter, Sasha, on the side of the three-decker and screaming hysterically. Ms. Williamson said the mother scooped up her baby and ran into the hallway, still screaming.

Ms. Williamson has four children, and she said she completed an American Red Cross nurse assistant class some time ago.

“Being a mother, I just wanted to make sure she was OK,” Ms. Williamson said. “Well, she wasn't moving at all, but she was breathing.”

The injured child's mother placed her daughter on a bed.

“I did breathe into her mouth once. It was scary. I just tried to do what I could do.”

Firetrucks, police, ambulances and paramedics pulled up to the apartment almost at the same time, she said.

"They were relieved to hear her breathe,” Ms. Williamson said.

She said paramedics put a brace on the 2-year-old before taking her to an area hospital.

“She's a tough little girl,” Ms. Williamson said.

Police said it does not appear that the little girl's parents were negligent, and authorities have not brought any charges.
